Gum Disease and Bad Breath Care in Edmonton
Assessment for gum concerns
Schonsee Dental lists periodontal care and scaling and root planing. Tell the dental team about bleeding, swelling, tenderness, persistent bad breath or changes in your gums. A dentist or hygienist can examine your mouth and explain whether preventive care, periodontal treatment or further assessment is appropriate.
Persistent bad breath
Bad breath can have different causes. An oral examination may identify dental or gum factors, but it does not rule out every possible cause. Share relevant symptoms, dry mouth, medicines and recent dental work. If the dental assessment does not explain the concern, ask whether follow-up with another health professional is appropriate.
Follow the care plan
Ask what findings were observed, what the next steps involve and how to care for your mouth at home. If scaling and root planing is recommended, discuss the areas treated, comfort, appointment plan, follow-up and fees before proceeding.
